federal extensions

It has been 2 weeks since I mailed my last claim form off. I mailed a new one today. I still have not received payment for the month of March, and I have bills to pay. I understand that everyone is trying to find out more info on the federal extensions, so I hate having to post about waiting a measely 2 weeks. It is so frustrating however, because I am on my regular benefits no extension, and even I can’t seem to get any help. Lets let the EDD explain to our bill collectors and landlords when we can’t pay!!!!

There has been a lot of uncertainty whether Congress would extend these unemployment benefits, but there has not been congressional action to resume these federal extensions. “After debate, the reversion was not passed, so the long-term unemployed should move forward with the assumption that this congressional decision will stand,” said Labor Commissioner Burns Phillips.

i understand the extensions stopped 12/28, but what point last year did they ‘announce’ that sequestration cuts were no more and they were going to cut it off completely?

im newly laid off and currently getting unemployment through the state… didnt hear about the federal extensions being cut off till recently, at what point last year did they announce this (been out of the loop obvi)

hello I have a question about extensions. I started my claim this past November, I only have roughly 2400 on my claim. that is due to run out in about 4 weeks. my question is dose my money then stop because I don’t have anymore in my “bank” or is that when the first extension start. also I have done the math on the federal extension (that part where u times ur weekly benefits by whatever number is is…and I don’t make the minimal amount for the federal extensions)…but someone told me the first 52 weeks isnt federal it is the individuall state that picks up the first year.

I have already email THOSE people over a month ago and have not gotten back any answer…so any info would be wonderful

My boyfriend starts a firefighting job in February and I have a job interview on Wednesday. If I get it it will be $20 an hour. My federal extensions have run out and I am no longer betting on Congress anymore. My boyfriend was supposed to have maximum unemployment due to his federal position in 2013, but EDD messed up his paperwork and forgot to state his federal wages on its award letter although a representative verified it for him last December. Therefore, the award letter from EDD is currently $0 before it is adjusted for his federal wages. We also have a child. I am embarrassed to ask but if we apply for welfare, is it immediate at the DPSS office? I only plan for it to be very short-term and will report our jobs to their office immediately once they take place.

On another message board, I read that federal extensions came to a full stop for 7 weeks before Congress finally signed off on a bill. What exactly happened, if anyone can recall, and is it very similar to what is going on? I was working at the time and don’t remember the news about this.
